The Ghana Police Service has appointed DCOP Emmanuel Teye Cudjoe as the new Ashanti Regional Police Commander.
He takes over from DCOP Frank Abrokwa, who has been transferred to the Police Headquarters in Accra following his poor handling of security during the Ashanti Regional Council of State election on Tuesday, February 11.
The election, held at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) in Kumasi, was marred by chaos after machomen, allegedly affiliated with the NDC from Obuasi, stormed the venue and disrupted the process while ballots were being sorted.
Security forces led by the Ashanti Regional Police Command were unable to effectively control the situation, leading to Abrokwa’s immediate transfer. His transfer letter was reportedly issued soon after the incident.
Before his new appointment, DCOP Teye Cudjoe served as the Central North Regional Police Commander.
Welcoming the new police chief, Ashanti Regional Minister Dr. Frank Amoakohene expressed optimism about working closely with him to enhance security and maintain stability across the region.
